Teaching Badminton Thread

Wondering what are some good ways to teach badminton or parts of badminton - what things to focus on with beginners - and what things to avoid doing etc.

any suggestions would be great.

one thing I want to ask is - at the first phase with new students who can usually already rally, but not swing properly overhead

what is the fastests & easiest way to teach those students to do the proper overhead swing for clear/smash/drop

- should you teach some footwork before you go into working on the shots?

it is hard to remember how it felt when you started badminton - but try putting the raquet in your left hand and doing the overhead swing, it will feel very awkward - that is close to how it will feel to your students.
